About Eric Francis

I am Eric Francis VOUNDA, a Senior Consultant in Logistics.

I hold a Master's degree (BAC+5) in Logistics and am a Doctoral student in the same specialty, with 17 years of experience in the industry, digital transformation, and logistics and transport services sectors.

Thanks to this 100% logistics background, including 7 years abroad (expatriation in Africa), I am bilingual in French/English and Arabic, which I learned during my academic studies in Morocco and professional experience in Algeria. I have international mobility (54 countries visited). During this period, I had the opportunity to manage a multidisciplinary and multicultural team of up to 10 employees.

My professional project is oriented towards transport and supply chain professions in industry and digital transformation. The mobility and logistics sector is undergoing a major transformation today with decarbonization and digitalization.

Therefore, I wish to implement the purchasing strategy and logistics policy of your organization by optimizing your logistics costs, reducing transport times, and improving the quality of customer service in the delivery of your products (100% on-time and quality delivery).
